Silvia, you have a good way of putting it.

It seems that Nicholas is having a hard time letting go of the
current psychobabble that presumes "thinking leads emotion"......
and most self-help books subscribe to this presumption.

Modern neurological research shows that this is just not true! ...........
emotional body-states initiate direct motor response up to
four seconds AHEAD of the modulating thinking action of the cortex.

In that sense, "emotions drive our thinking". For example,
who hasn't acted impulsively and then almost immediately
said, "Why did I just do that?!"

Yes, it's further evidence for the modern research.

Now this is interesting. It's in accord with AA's view of the Inner
Spiritual Resource/ Higher Power. They talk about being "rocketed
into the fourth dimension" once all the "baggage" has been cleared out
of the way.
